It's far more work to do what they currently do which is nitpick the things they don't like to remove/disable/replace them. Increasing divergence is a benefit for them here, but the main concern with chromium forks isn't the effort required it's the lack of coherent vision. Except for maybe Arc, but that's closed source, the rest of them feel like chrome but dirtier. Giant bing buttons, crypto wallets, new tab ads, it's absurd how much of them are willing to sacrifice the user experience. To the point where I can understand why a user would just stick with chrome despite what they're doing.
